This goes for 10 minutes. The first half of this is very depressing with the issues very clearly displayed. The second half gives solutions, ideas and hope. Worth watching and showing to your Year 10 students. I think population planning should also have been mentioned. Steve

Various Group Acitivites from this page relate to the above CDs. The activities were written for a Year 7-8 audience, however, with a little tinkering could fit Year 10.

I think students might cringe at this at the start but will warm to it, so to speak. These are Scientists who can communicate. Isaac Asimov spliced in from his 1989 lecture? Great graphics and catchy tune. Steve
